Research Interests & Projects
My research is interdisciplinary, integrating (micro-)structural geology, geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology to investigate large-scale tectonic processes through mineral-scale records. Currently, I am focusing on field-based case studies to develop in-situ Rb/Sr and K/Ca geochronology of mica using LA-ICP-MS/MS (reaction-cell mass spectrometry), alongside comparisons with in-situ 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. By combining these techniques with other research methods, I reconstruct the evolution of orogenic systems and the formation mechanisms of critical mineral deposits, linking the timing of mineralization to regional tectonic events.
